Who is taking part....

....in the "Great Conversation" that Mortimer Adler spoke of? Who is buying new, or used, copies of his "Great Books" series? Who is learning about the history of western civilization, the theory of learning, and so on?

I'd like to introduce a perhaps startling answer; the same "religious conservatives" so regularly mocked by the likes of the New York Times and other elites. Admittedly, my experience is limited, but all too often I see Maureen Dowd (and like-minded people) using ad hominem attacks while my favorite seminary president (OK, the only seminary president I know) expounds upon the Trivium.

With God's blessing, we may soon have a change of elites, and a redefinition of elite institutions.
